A Few Birds from Pedernales Falls SP

[icephoto]

Awesome morning in the bird blind at Pedernales Falls SP yesterday. Okay, how about awesome two hours in the blind. Got started later than I wanted to and didn't step into the blind until 10. Didn't matter...Filled my 16Gb card. I'd never done that before in a day's worth of shooting (and thus, didn't have my spare with me...Doh!). The birds were not horribly unique, but the shooting was really good.

That's some nice light and good photography right there!

Real nice shooting! Carry extra cards! Good job on these pretty guys.

Nice job on these - I particularly like the first two images.

Thanks Dave, David, and Scott.

These look really nice! I know shooting birds can burn up a card...that's why I shoot bugs, but I always got a couple of spares in my little bag just in case

Thanks, Jim. I hear what you're saying. I don't burn through the card space quite as fast when I'm shooting dragons or damsels (and I can't wait for them to return), but it was a straight up rookie mistake not to be carrying a spare card with me. If I'd gotten out there two hours earlier I would have been really bummed. I won't make the same mistake this weekend when I head up to San Angelo, though I'm afraid I won't have nearly the luck.

Doing better that me; I cant get close enough to get a shot at birds here. They are very skiddish. : )
